We woke up to 7 inches of snow today...so pretty bored. We wanted to get out to our field and search the area where we found the cache blade....but not now. Anyway....these rocks I like no matter what they are....I picked them up out of my dads creek in KY...so I figure the creek made them that way. What do you think? Thanks for looking...

Hi wildcatman71! Here is a link to some discussion of similar rocks with holes. Except yours have only single holes, but I've seen them like that also. I find them fairly frequently, so mine are geofacts. Do you see a lot of these?

Yes.....we find a few. They are found in an area that has arrowheads....but I really think these are geos....
 
Its a geofact, the pits are caused by natural errosive processes.

I think you've got a geo and a couple fire starting rocks (bow drill), jmo.
So how is you got a fire-starting rocks out of that?
All of them are natural Limestone erosion......
 
In the 3rd pic, you can clearly see the impression of an eroded fossil, possibly a coral.

because it looks like one of these

and one looks like it has rotational marks and color/ composition changes in the hole.

That's why I said "just my opinion" so i dont come off like a know it all who's giving disinfo lectures. I may be wrong , I've been wrong before. Looks more like sandstone imo.
